Television “Safe” Exposure Guidelines:

Since the amount of Television you watch is directly proportional to how happy you are in life, the less you watch the better.  However, at EndAllDisease.com we realize that eliminating the Television completely from your life may or may not be realistic, and since the governments of the world are not responsible enough to create safe-exposure guidelines for watching television, we’re going to give you the guidelines brought forth from Harvard Researchers and others based on the existing science.  Here is the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for watching television:

  • Children under three should see no screen entertainment.
  • After this age, television viewing of good quality programmes should be limited to an hour a day.
  • Teenagers should be limited to one-and-a-half hours a day.
  • And for adults, two hours a day.

“Getting rid of your television should not be considered extreme.  You are immediately doubling the amount of free time you have and, after a short period of time, you are very unlikely to miss it.”
– Dr. Aric Sigman
